but they are likely to meet local people and acquire some understanding of their culture

medicine or computers A large proportion of students are now choosing to work with a charity which arranges voluntary work in various parts of the world The project provides hands-on experience of a very varied nature, from teaching to helping build roads or dams

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 44 to 50

“I have not paid a single electricity bill since the year 1970” says Richard Perez with noticable glee He can afford to be smug He lives “ off-grid” – unconnected to the power grid and the water, gas and sewerage supplies that most people in the world rely on He ganerate his own electricity, sources his own water and deals with his own waste disposal – and he prefers in that way “There are times when the grid

blacks out” he says “I really like the security of having my own electricity company.”

Perez is not alone Once the preserve of mavericks, hippies and survivalists, there are now approximately 200,000 off-grid households in the United States of America, a figure that Perez says has been increasing

by a third every year for the past decade For all of the people who live off-grid, self-sufficency means guilt-free energy consumption and peace of mind “It feels brilliant to make use of clean, free energy that

is not from fossil fuels” says Suzanne Galant, a writer who lives off-grid in a rural area in Wales “And if something goes wrong, we can fix it ourself” Now even urbanites are seeing the appeal of generating

some if not all of their own power needs So is energy freedom an eco pipe-dream or the untimate good

life?

Well, there is only one wy to find out: begin to explore the possibilities of solar, wind or hydro-power But unless you live on a sunny, south-facing hillsidewith access to a nearby river or stream, that might prove prohibitively expensive!

There is no doubt that being off-grid has its problems, and it is not always the cheapest way to get the

energy you need Even so, pioneers like Perez have proved that it can be done, and without giving up a

21st century lifestyle: “I have got five personal computers, two laser scanners, two fridge-freezer, a microwave, a covection oven, vacuum cleaners –you name it” says Perez There is an external beam antenna on the roof for the phone and a satellite dish for an Internet connection I have got 70 kWh in batteries that could last me five days I have too much electricity” Too much electricity and no more bills That has got to be worth aiming for

Question 44: Which is the best serves as the title for the passage?

A Unplugging from the Grid

B No water, no life!

C A Day in the Life of an “Off-Grid”

D Living without Electricity

Question 45: The phrase “blacks out” in paragraph 1 mostly means

A fails to work B is able to run

C has no functions D serves many purposes

Question 46: According to paragraph 1, Perez has managed to

A save a lot of money with his own company

B stay independent of certain public utilities

C provide energy for people in his neighbourhood

D pay off his electricity bills since 1970

Question 47: The word “pipe-dream” in paragraph 2 mostly means

A a promissing vision B a terrible situation

C an impractical hope D a real nightmare

Question 48: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to

A being a pioneer B getting the energy

C being off-grid D giving up a 21st century lifestyle

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

A The number of “off-gridders” in the US is said to have risen by 33% over the past ten years

B Some city dwellers have shown an interest in producing their own electricity

C “Off-gridders” enjoy not doing harm to the environment

D People opting for off-grid living used to be considered quite eccentric

Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A Adopting an off-grid lifestyle is only suitable for low-income people

B Leading a 21st century lifestyle means consuming a great deal of electricity

C Many “off-gridders” have made a fortune selling thier own electricity

D Most people living in temperate regions are against the idea of living off-grid

The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek In the play, a

man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and

invented the term robotics, the science of robots Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were

developed by an engineer, Joseph F Engelberger, and an inventor, George C Devol Together they

started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the

Unimate Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a

success They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon

acquiring robots as well

These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in

science fiction films In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans They were simply pieces of computer-controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands” Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful

for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many factories around the world Though the use of robots has meant the

loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and

In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby In various African nations, they hold initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays When children reach a certain designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes Some African tribes consider that children from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world They may have to carry out several tests

Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation The first stage lasts about

three months The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young warriors At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a “manyatta” where they practice hunting the

wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds This stage may last a few years When they are ready, they will

Foot racing is a popular activity in the United States It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as

a way to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause

Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train

at all Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise People of all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in strollers) to those

in their eighties, enter into this sport The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length

of San Francisco In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as little

as 34 minutes Behind them are the thousands 20 who take several hours to finish In the back of the race are those who dress in costumes and come just for fun One year there was a group of men who dressed like Elvis Presley, and another group consisted of firefighters who were tied together in a long line and who were carrying a fire hose There was even a bridal party, in which the bride was dressed in a long

white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo The bride and groom threw flowers to bystanders, and they

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of

the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice Now known as Lake

Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the

scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have

survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this

Question 23: What is true of Lake Vostok?

A It is completely frozen B It is a saltwater lake

C It is beneath a thick slab of ice D It is heated by the sun

Question 24: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it

C could not determine the lake's exact size D was controlled by a satellite

Question 25: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if

A there were no lake underneath B the lake were not so big

C Antarctica were not so cold D radio waves were not used

Question 26: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the

following?

A Pieces of dust B Tiny bubbles C Tiny organisms D Rays of light

Question 27: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it

A can be studied using radio waves B may contain uncontaminated microbes

C may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D has already been contaminated

Question 28: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of

A further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B problems with satellite-borne radar

equipment

C ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D the harsh climate of Antarctica

Question 29: The purpose of the passage is to

A explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B provide satellite data concerning

Antarctica

C discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geograph y

Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source

of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful

production practices We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which

is abandoned and poorly stored It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it

degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all

Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability

of food up through the food chain It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by manmade or natural processes Depending on the study of rocks of the area,

groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals

Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as

contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body Certain air contaminants can

also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air

Question 30: What is the topic of the passage?

A Sources of environmental damage B The pollution from the city

C Bad effects of industrial waste D The quality of the environment

Question 31: According to the passage, the industry is likely to be thought as

A a danger to the environment B the only source of pollution

C the utmost harmful activity D a threat to human health

Question 32: The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to

A the remaining waste B a danger

C the environment D the threat of the remaining waste

Question 33: Which of the followings affect an ecosystem as the whole?

A Surface water contamination B Soil contamination

C Groundwater contamination D Air contamination

Question 34: According to the passage, which of the followings supports healthy ecosystems?

A Lower food chain organisms B Animals C Water-based organisms D Wetlands

Question 35: Which of the followings is NOT badly affected by contaminated groundwater?

Question 36: Which of the followings is the flow of water from the ground to the surface?

A Streams B Ponds C Rivers D Springs

Question 37: Whichof the followings has the closest meaning to the word “absorbed” in the last

paragraph?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate

the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (38) between husband and wife Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work

opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a secure environment for the family Husband and wife may also share household chores Some

fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry

In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (39) and the father becomes the

“househusband." These cases are still fairly rare One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to

be spending more time with their children In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers “This is one of our most significant cultural changes,” says Dr Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the

Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (40) around kids' lives.”

Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula The number of people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade The (41) _ of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (42) of children?

IN ONE CUBIC FOOT

In any environment- forest, mountain, or water- you always see the big animals first: birds, mammals, fish But under your feet, on land or in the water, there are many smaller

organisms: insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures They seem unimportant, but, in fact,

these sea creatures and ground dwellers are “ the heart of life on the Earth”, says naturalist E.O Wilson Without them, our world would change dramatically

Most organisms on the Earth live on the ground or just below it Here, they are not part of

an important cycle Plants and animals fall to the ground when they die Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material This process eventually returns nutrients to the soil and gives plants energy Plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals

Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms To

learn more, photographer David Liittschwager went to different place around the world, including a forest, a river, a mountain, and a coral reef In each place, he put a green 12-inch cube on the ground or in the water Then he and his team counted and photographed the organisms that lived in or moved through the cube Often they discovered hundreds, some only a

millimeter in size “It was like finding little gems.” he says In the coral reef in French

Polynesia, he saw thousands of creatures in the cube and photographed 600 The team identified

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviours It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human- service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviours Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters and consumers

IN ONE CUBIC FOOT

In any environment- forest, mountain, or water- you always see the big animals first: birds, mammals, fish But under your feet, on land or in the water, there are many smaller

organisms: insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures They seem unimportant, but, in fact,

these sea creatures and ground dwellers are “ the heart of life on the Earth”, says naturalist E.O Wilson Without them, our world would change dramatically

Most organisms on the Earth live on the ground or just below it Here, they are not part of

an important cycle Plants and animals fall to the ground when they die Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material This process eventually returns nutrients to the soil and gives plants energy Plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals

Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms To

learn more, photographer David Liittschwager went to different place around the world, including a forest, a river, a mountain, and a coral reef In each place, he put a green 12-inch cube on the ground or in the water Then he and his team counted and photographed the organisms that lived in or moved through the cube Often they discovered hundreds, some only a

millimeter in size “It was like finding little gems.” he says In the coral reef in French

Polynesia, he saw thousands of creatures in the cube and photographed 600 The team identified

as many as possible, but it was difficult Many of the animals they found were new species

From 1940 to 1956, a man called George Metesky set off bombs in places like movie theatres and train stations all over New York City A psychiatrist named James A Brussel was called in by the

police to help He used crime scene photos and others from the bomber to profile the criminal doing the bombings He assured the police that the man was middle-aged, unmarried, and a skilled mechanic from Connecticut

This was an example of criminal profiling Profiling is used when a criminal's identity is unknown Based on profiling, a psychological sketch of the person is created This sketch helps the police more easily find him or her It Is an essential tool for the police trying to solve major crimes Profiling has been used for a long time to help the police

Profilers are not police officers They are experts who create criminal profiles for the police They use the crime scene evidence and psychology to write about the suspect They can't tell who the person is, but they can tell the police what kind of person to look for To be a profiler, one needs a degree in psychology, criminal justice, or behavioral science Profilers sometimes work in police departments and

sometimes they are independent workers

Profiling is especially effective in cases of repeated crimes, like serial killers The profile tells the

police what the killer may act like It also tells the police what kind of person the killer may target next and where it might happen That way, the police can prevent further crimes Profilers can learn a lot about a criminal's habits from the evidence they leave behind

All of this is impressive, but not everyone agrees with profiling Some say it's just a guessing game It may not always work, but profiling methods have improved over time Today's profilers are much better than previous profilers They can create better profiles thanks to decades of knowledge and experience Even if their information isn't perfect, it's still a great help to the police
